Newbie Question

Simple PHP code?

[Jhet]

Is there a way to tell the network location of visitors to your site? I'm looking to see something like "verizon internet services inc." or "comcast cable communications inc."

Depending on your PHP configuration you can use $_SERVER['REMOTE_HOST'] or pass an ip address to gethostbyaddr() to find the visitors hostname.
eg -
$hostname = gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
or
$hostname = $_SERVER['REMOTE_HOST'];

this may not return a nicely formatted host name like you have specified, but it will give you the info you need, you could then clean up the string.

I'll give that a try, thanks!

I got the network locations from Google Analytics. That may be why they look like that.
